Yeti Wildmarathon du Népal

The Yeti Wildmarathon du Népal crosses the Himalayan landscapes of the Manang region, Gandaki Pradesh, on 18 October 2026, at a cool, sunny time of year. Three distances are on offer, made up of 75% trail and 25% road, and each can be run solo or in teams of up to five:

• a 10 km, as a first taste of the mountains
• a half marathon (21 km) with a flatter profile
• a marathon (42 km), considered one of the most beautiful in the world, with an unusual profile of 2,800 m of descent for just 256 m of ascent, including sections steeper than 30%

Temperatures range from 5 to 20°C in October, with dry weather. A drop point lets runners leave warm clothing during the race. Registration includes a 12-day immersive trip with accommodation, meals, visits and activities: discovering Kathmandu, excursions to temples and hot springs, and five days of trekking between the villages of Pisang and Manang. There is also an option to climb Pisang Peak (6,091 m) with a guide.

Within an hour's drive, Tilicho Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world, the Boudhanath Stupa, a major Buddhist monument, and rafting on the Kali Gandaki river round off the possible activities. The national dish, dal bhat, made with rice and lentils, is a local speciality worth trying.
